Winner is picked… Art is due this Friday!

The winner is the person that collects the most votes from Friday to Tuesday.  That person is declared the winner sometime on Wednesday… Thursday at the latest.  That person is then obligated by the rules and regulations of the blogger-net-o-sphere to provide two random words, picked in any fashion seen fit by said winner, send em to artchalluunge@gmail.com by Friday at 2pm...  At which point these words will be revealed to the other participants and thus the cycle continues for eternity, or until the year 3047, which ever comes first…

There-to-hense-forth, JAMES is our winner this week!  Congrats to you you wonderful human being you!!! James get cher challuunge winning keister out there and provide two random words by next week and no body gets hurt!

This week’s words are SELF / PORTRAIT which, by all means and intent, are pretty self explanatory.

Open phone –> open camera –> point at self –> create art based on what you see.  Simple, eh?

See you all here on Friday around 2pm-ish-ish…

MARTINI / COSMETIC is ready 4 U Votes’s!

 
Welcome back to the only art challenge on the interwebs that takes pride in misspelling it’s name in a most ridiculous way.  Two U’s?  You must be crazy!  That’s right, The Random Words Art Challuunge!  Challuunge pronounced with a long oooo… say it with me now, ChallUUnge!  You got it!  There’s a long drawn out story behind the spelling that involves a monkey with three tails and a savory mac’n’cheese dish with sushi… but that story’s for another day… 

Thanks to everyone that tossed in this week!  If it weren’t for you this blog would be mighty mighty boring, what with my random needless rantings about random things and such forth…

Ok challuungers, it’s that time to reveal next week’s words, and Wurm has chosen to ask anyone and everyone willing to participate to base their art on these words:

SELF / PORTRAIT

This was a hit a few years back when we had these words, so it might be kinda cool to see how our artists view themselves with a self portrait… or whatever you interpret these words as would be fine.  Rememeber, any and all forms of creativity are accepted; sculpting, digital drawing, photography, stories, poems, sonnets, haikus, quickdry cement sculptures, toilet paper roll collages… anything!  Just shoot over a jpg of your submission and vwalah!  You are in the challUUnge!

…………………………………………..

Alright, enough with the letters mashed together to form words that make up sentences… On to this week’s challuunge for:

MARTINI / COSMETIC
